    You could have included the link to your thread... for better suggestions from other members. On the face of it, it appears to be a mistake and must have been wrongly given to you... probably instead of somebody else who would have hijacked your thread!

    When you turn the original discussion to another way instead of opening a new thread, that fall into thread hijacking.

    i didn't include thread cause we don't reveal where infractions take place.

    I have helped a few people on here too and recieved infractions. Actually i have just come back from a months ban. I think we just have to choose our words carefully in posts unless we donate or pay something into the site.

    If your other posts were anything like this one, I’m not surprised you were banned.

    Paying into this forum WONT stop you from being banned if you break the rules, making unsubstantiated remarks of this nature is out of order. If you have proof, post it for all to see or PM the admin.

    Thanks Brian
